HENRY REDLICH, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

ABOTTLE-WRAPPER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 272,323, dated February 13, 1883. Application filed July 24, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: l

Be it known that I, HENRY REDLICH, of Chicago, in the county of Cook andn State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvenient in Vrapping Material, ot' which the following is a full,clear, and exact description. This invention relates to wrapping material for hotties and fragile ware and it consists of a wrapper composed of a continuous ilexihle hacking, to which flexible strands or rolls of fibrous material, which have lirst been twisted to render them sufciently compact, are glued or otherwise secured, with spaces between said rolls or strands, as will be hereinafter more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claims'. y

In the drawings hereto annexed, Figures 1 and 2 are face views, showing slightly different constructions of my invention.

The same letters referto the same parts in all the gures.-

A is the backing, which consists of heavy paper. On this backing is attached the brous material, (shown at 1),) which is formed ot' short fibers, by twisting into continuous rolls or strands, which are secured to the paper backing, either straight, as in Fig. l,ordiago nally, as in Fig.2 of the drawings, spaces or intervals being left between the rolls, as shown. The material which I prefer to use is tow-string or waste,which is cheap and easily procured; but anybrous material or the hair of animals may be used. The fibrous parallel rolls are attached to the backing, preferably by means of glue. By this construction less fibrous material will be required than when the said material is spread entirely over the backing, thus lessening the expense. The bottle or other article to be wrapped will also be better protected, as the twisted rolls are compact and thick, and will protect the parts of the bottle resting ot' the bottle lying in the intervals between the rolls will be held up hy the rollsabove the backing, and protected by the latter from in jury. The rolls or strands should not extend beyond the edges of the backing, as the latter is intended tobe continuous in the sense of being cio-extensive with the said fibrous rolls.

'I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of' the United Statesl. As an improvement in wrapping material, the combination, with a continuous dexible backing, of strands or rolls of brous niaterial twisted so as to render them sufficiently'v compact, and glued in parallel lines upon the said backing, or strands, as set forth. y

2. As an article of manufacture, wrapping material consisting of a continuous exible backing having strands of twisted fibrous material secured to the face thereof', with spaces between said strands, as set forth.
